Ohio State Graduate School Fellowships
Students entering the MA program at Ohio State may be nominated by CSEEES for a variety of generous fellowships from the Graduate School, including the prestigious University Fellowship, Graduate Access Fellowship to increase the accessibility of graduate study, and Engie-Axium Fellowships for those interested in sustainability. Students awarded Graduate School Fellowships must accept them within the Graduate School system by April 15 or they will forfeit the award. Fellows may want to consider enrolling the summer before their first academic year and should discuss options with CSEEES director and staff.
